Most, if not all modern straight tray projectors are able to work with
all three types, DIN, LKM and CS.

AFAIK Reflecta specializes in inexpensive projectors, but I've no idea
how this affects reliability. Diamator is the name for most of their
projectors, so it is difficult to identify this specific model. They
had an decent carousel type projector and an dissolve unit projector
working out of one tray.
At that price I wouldn't expect an decent lens coming with this
projector. Normally one pays that money for an excellent projecting
lens
alone.
I know that Kindermann "Silent" projectors are really silent (Kodak is
really noisy) and decent projectors with the air outtake in the front,
so the warm air doesn't blow you in the face. AFAIK one can use Leica
Colorplan lenses made for older Leica projectors with Kindermann
projectors. Kindermanns own high quality lenses are of similar quality
and similar priced.
Another company producing projectors with good price performance
relation is Braun. Their better projectors (Multimags, avoid Novamat)
have significant more metal in it and look much more precise than the
Kindermann ones. Leica projector of similar quality are significant
more expensive. Their better "Colorplan class" lenses are called
"Ultralit" and AFAIK made by Docter optics, price and performance not
much different from Colorplan.
I personally wouldn't buy to cheap, because who buys cheap buys twice.
